It's a remarkably good game. I hold the CD trilogy (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld) in a higher regard than the original games. It's a very solid game, although it could use a more fleshed out combat system.
Finally broke the futbol spell and stopped playing FIFA again, for a while. Started TC: SO all over again and put over 8 hours in the last three days. I'm on Ep. 6-6 right now, enjoyable game but with a few obnoxiously difficult parts.
Also playing Modern Warfare 2. I have to get my money's worth with the damn map packs!
Playing Bayonetta off and on, just taking it slow. And once in awhile, I take the tracks with Blur and Split/Second.
And MGS Peace Walker is coming out Tuesday! Can't wait! I haven't been this excited for a MGS game in a long time!

Split/Second (up to the third episode; just has that "toe-curling" edge of your seat quality to it!)
Mario Galaxy 2 (60 stars in; loving it but getting stuck on some prankster comets. feel the need to complete each world in order. Argh!)
Picross 3D (FINALLY just beat the Easy diffliculty; my god! there's like 120 puzzles each difficulty!)
______________
I DID, however, pop in Muramasa: The Demon Blade again, just for the heck of it. Wow. Playing that game just feels "right."
It is gonna to end up being one of my favorite Wii games of all time. So very, very good.
Agreed. I do like the first TR on PC, but now that I have Anniversary, there's no reason to go back to it anymore.
Nerkas? WTF?
Yeah I always use the Wii-mote "condom", gives a better grip and I tried without it once but it felt weird, and small.
I haven't played much of anything this weekend as I went camping with family yesterday and just got back. I played some God of War before I left yesterday.
Woo hoo! E3's coming soon, can't wait.
Oh yeah I never use the wrist strap, except when I played Wii-sports as I get right into swinging it like a bat, golf club, tennis racquet, and boxing. When I play those games I get right up and play just as I would playing the real sports.
Also, tried the Ninety-Nine Nights 2 demo. Really repetitive hack and slasher. Who enjoys games like this where all you do is mow down hundreds of bad guys by pressing one button, games like Dynasty Warrirors! I know there's a fanbase but it's just not for me. It gets old fast.
Give me Bayonetta or God of War anyday!

Eh, I know what you're trying to convey, but complaining about one-button combat and then asking for God of War is not the best way to get your point across. In God of War you do mow down hundreds of bad guys by pressing one button. Square.
They're hardly similar games, though.
At any rate, yeah. N3 had dull combat, bland characters and nerve-wracking voice acting, so I didn't enjoy it at all. If the second game changed nothing from the first one, then I won't even bother trying out the demo.
I haven't touched a game in a week, except for Legends of Zork. Been busy with some other stuff. Namely this - www.plmktg.com
It's not the best site, but it's acceptible for a ver. 1. And it's good enough that I can now get to the fun part of this little business venture which is hyping the hell out of it. Before that though I'm going to go back to Trauma Team.
I guess I wasn't just talking about combat in these games. Games like N3 is so repetitive because all you do is kill hundreds of bad guys. In God of War at least the action is broken up with puzzles, dungeons, and going through different areas and environments. Those are the hack and slashers I prefer, a adventure game mixed with action.
N3 has no progression other than killing millions of bad guys. So boring.

Nice site. If you're open to some feedback I'd advise to have the same font all across, since having different ones between tabs can be a bit jarring.
I know, I know. Still, they're rather different games so the comparison is futile. You'd have a better chance comparing N3 to DW or SW games, which are exactly the kind of games N3 and N3-2 are trying to ape. There must be something fun inside those games because they manage to hold a significant following, at least in Japan.
That was a mistake and I caught it after I posted the link. Even with a site as small as that I know I'll be finding errors for the next week. I'm not much of a details kind of guy.
Yeah I tried the N3-2 demo but I'll probably skip it or at best just rent it sometime. I can have fun with those types of games and I played the hell out of the first N3 game, got 1000/1000, but so many other great games I want to get N3-2 isn't something I'd put at the top of my list.
Yeah. I know a few people, some of my friends, who actually like that kind of stuff. They buy every Dynasty Warrior game that comes out.
I just can't stay interested in them.

I've never played a DW game, I wonder if they are more fun that N3 or it's just the same thing.
I wonder if there's any game that you have finished, and haven't 1000/1000-ed. My dream is to become like you one day, master.

Looks good. I'd reach out to iPod devs as well, since that is where a lot of small devs are.
Are you looking to get attention through SEO or by direct contact with small devs?
Yeah, mean either. Once I pass a game, that's it for me.
Screw achievements! Most innovative feature of this gen my butt!
